• Consistent Standard Process for Technology
  Development Implementation
• Gate reviews
• Standard milestones enable standard work and more
  meaningful process metrics (e.g. EVA)
• Supporting tools for common reports, work for
  PIs
• Process owners for phases supporting modules
  (e.g. IP management, milestones)
• Stakeholder communication participation

Key Measures 1) Is It Easier for the PIs to do
their Jobs? 2) Better Yield, Improved Quality
